block: propagate in_flight to whole disk on partition I/O

Now when I/O is submitted to a partition, the per-CPU in_flight[]
counter is incremented only on the partition's block_device, not on the
underlying whole disk. This leads to a problem which can be shown by a
fio test:

lsblk
  NAME     MAJ:MIN RM  SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
  mydev    252:1    0   20G  0 disk
  └─mydev1 259:0    0   10G  0 part

iostat -xp 1
  Device       r/s        rkB/s      ... aqu-sz   %util
  mydev    128153.00  512612.00      ...  13.22   72.20
  mydev1   128154.00  512616.00      ...  13.22  100.00

%util is different between mydev and mydev1, which is unexpected.

This is the cumulative effect of a series of patches. The root cause is
commit e016b78201a2 ("block: return just one value from part_in_flight"),
which deleted the branch in part_in_flight() that aggregated the whole-disk
in_flight count on top of the partition's. Then the second commit is
commit 10ec5e86f9b8 ("block: merge part_{inc,dev}_in_flight into their
only callers"), which folded the whole-disk in_flight accounting into
generic_start_io_acct() and generic_end_io_acct(). Those two helpers
were then removed by commit e722fff238bb ("block: remove
generic_{start,end}_io_acct"), and from that point on the whole disk's
in_flight is no longer accounted at all.

In update_io_ticks(), if calling bdev_count_inflight() finds that the
inflight value of the whole device is 0, the accumulation of io_ticks will
be skipped, causing the reported util% value to be underestimated.

Fix it by restoring the whole-disk in_flight accounting.
